1. Take off the brake caliper.
2. Take off the Lefty top cap.
3. Loosen the three clamp bolts close to the Lefty's leg.
4. Slide down the Lefty from the clamps, leaving the clamps on the bike.
5. Put the top cap back on before sending it away.

You could also keep the Manual somewhere for future use... Right click and save on your computer somewhere.

thank you sir...
This will save me a few bucks by doing it myself.
Do you know if C-dale would accept it directly from me?
or do they insist I go through a LBS?

lefty max 140 removal + search for play

They usually prefer through a dealer, not sure if directly is even possible... Ask them, say that you are closer to them than to the nearest dealer.

I called C-dale...I need to go through a dealer.

Also, I was easily able to remove my lefty in 5 minutes.
I cleaned it up and began searching for any signs of possible play.
When I slid the boot down, I noticed the section where the Lefty "screws" together (just like some post stated).
This was indeed loose, so I hand tightened it, and put the fork back on.

I was pretty sure that this was the cause of the play in my front end.
Unfortunately...the play is still there.

So...is it possible that a damaged rebound cartridge (or some other internal component) will actually cause play????

If it is not the fork, and not the crowns/headtube bearings....what else could it be!!??
oh yeah...I believe the hub is fine too.
